Hi! I’m the voyager dev. I haven’t heard of any users with the issues you are listing, and I haven’t heard no problem logging into browse as a guest. Also you can explore local communities in the “explore” tab of search. Otherwise it will show top 50 federated communities when logged out for better default user experience.
Also I’m not sure why you didn’t see the post in the community. I’ve never had or heard of issues there.
The gifv image thing is a bug though.
If you have issues in the future, please explain them on !voyagerapp@lemmy.world or GitHub issues, with detail and screenshots if possible. It will help make the app better for everyone, instead of a random comment that I might not see :-)
Yeah, voyager does not have any ads or tracking or anything. It's truly privacy first. In fact the only "analytics" I get are from Apple App Store and Google Play Store download counts etc which I can't turn off. But if you use F-droid I have literally 0 usage information even crashes :)
Also Voyager has reproducible builds which means you don't have to trust me. You can verify that the APK was built from a specific release of the source code!
that’s still making assumptions about where you want to login to. The fact is that you can login, today, to Lemmy.world with “username” of “me@lemmy.wtf” assuming Lemmy.wtf has an email server setup. And it’s not a safe assumption because users DO have email addresses saved in their passwords manager as a username for whatever random instance, and there should be a 0% chance of sending user credentials to the wrong domain.
I can’t just trust that domain to say they’re a Lemmy instance, and there is a user with that username on the domain. That’s trivial to exploit.
But what if it does exist? But your have an email server on the same domain? Or what if that domain is being malicious and masquerading as a Lemmy instance to steal your credentials?
I’m not sure how that would work. When you sign in you can use your username or email. So if you type example@domain.com there is no way to know if you’re trying to login to the instance at domain.com or login with your email ending in domain.com, to some other instance.
Edit: and it can’t just assume and try domain.com first, because then if it’s not what the user intended then you just sent your login credentials accidentally to a random domain 🙃
Thanks! Also noteworthy, for those instances using lemmy-ansible (should be most) this release should fix video streaming for Safari clients (videos refusing to play), and enable progressive streaming for all pictrs videos (before in chrome/firefox/native players they would have to finish downloading before playing).
For those instances using a custom nginx reverse proxy with caching enabled, please enable the slice module! After upgrading to 0.19.10 feel free to ask me and I can help out to check to make sure it's working properly.
It’s not a voyager issue, it’s a Lemmy issue, the link didn’t federate for whatever reason. Maybe an edit that op made to add a link didn’t federate, I’m not sure. You can check by the opening the comment with Lemmy-ui on Lemmy.ca vs lemmy.world.
